Type
The Audio Type determines the type of TCE and
pitch shift algorithm for processing audio: Poly-
phonic, Monophonic, or Poly (Faster).
Polyphonic Use for processing complex sounds
(such as a multipart musical selection).
Monophonic Use for processing monophonic
sounds (such as a vocal melody).
Poly (Faster) Use for faster previewing and pro-
cessing, but with slightly reduced audio quality.
Gain
The Gain control attenuates the input level to
avoid clipping. Adjust the Gain control from
0.0 dB to –6.0 dB to avoid clipping in the pro-
cessed signal.
Clip Indicator The Clip indicator indicates clip-
ping in the processed signal. When using time
compression or pitch shifts above the original
pitch, it is possible for clipping to occur. The
Clip indicator lights when the processed signal
is clipping. If the processed signal clips, undo
the AudioSuite process and attenuate the input
gain using the Gain control. Then, re-process
the selection.
Level Indicator The Level indicator displays the
level of the output signal using a plasma LED,
which uses the full range of plasma level meter-
ing colors.
X-Form Time Section Controls
The Time section of X-Form provides controls
for specifying the amount of time compression
or expansion as well as the timebase used for
calculating TCE. Adjust the Time control to
change the target duration for the processed au-
dio.
Original
Displays the Start and End times, and Length of
the edit selection. Times are displayed in units
of the timebase selected in the Units pop-up
menu.
Processed
Displays the target End time and Length of the
processed signal. Times are displayed in units of
the timebase selected in the Units pop-up menu.
You can click the Processed End and Length
fields to type the desired values. These values
update automatically when adjusting the Time
control.
Tempo
Displays the Original Tempo and Processed
Tempo in beats per minute (bpm). You can click
the Original Tempo and Processed Tempo fields
to type the desired values. The Processed Tempo
value updates automatically when adjusting the
Time control.
When previewing Polyphonic, Poly (Faster)
is used for faster previewing. However,
when you process the audio selection, the
high-quality Polyphonic setting is used.
